re: Soul Eater, English dub casting

[samatethecookie]

I try not to bitch about English dubs before they're even produced, because giving things a chance is good, right?

But - why is Vic Mignogna playing Deathscythe/Spirit?

I fucking hate him.

At least he's not playing Death the Kidd - which a lot of fans wanted to see - but I still don't know who Todd Haberokorn is. Does anyone know who he is and what work he's done?

Oh, well. I'm going to sit in a corner and wonder over who's playing Crona and Maka. Anyone else, I can give or take. :/

Todd Haberkorn is best known for playing Kimihiro Watanuki in xxxholic, and Hikaru Hitachiin in Ouran High School Host Club, both of which I've seen. :D I always thought he was pretty good in those, and I think he'll do a fine job as Kid!

Man, all this dub hate going around is kind of bumming me out, though. That post at shibusen is just brimming with anger. I just wish people would give it a chance. THEN if it sucks we can all gripe about it. XD;;;;; not complaining about you, btw. I just came from that post I mentioned and I'm still thinking about it, so it's about them, really. ;D

omgsh, also, sorry about editing this five bajillion times. I'm so embarrassed. >>;;;;

I ... have never seen either of those things, so I'm really clueless! Maybe I should look them up. I'm sure he'll be okay, though. I'm not really picky with how Kidd's going to sound, as long as the produced work still sounds close to how he sounds in my head in English. xD; If he sounds horrible, I'll be sad about it for two seconds and then get over it.

Don't worry, I know you don't mean me. For me, it's not the dub itself I'm worried about. I'm not crazy about English dubs, but I don't HATE THEM WITH A BURNING PASSION AND THINK JAPANESE IS ALWAYS BETTER. (Yeah, I saw the same post in shibusen. I think the "Japanese is automatically better and English sucks" without even hearing the voices is a lame elitist attitude to have.) I just hate Vic Mignogna, because he's made a lot of offensive comments that don't sit well with me at all, and I really can't imagine him fitting into the role of Death Scythe. It's a personal gripe, that's all.

Haha, don't worry about it, I edit my posts all the time. XDD
